To provide an update on Federation and other school organisation proposals

That the progress of the School Modernisation Programme be noted.

The Senior Manager, School Planning and Provision, introduced a report to provide an update on Federation and other school organisation proposals. 

The Senior Manager provided background information and context and referred to the key considerations, as detailed in the report, concerning the capital improvement project at Connah’s Quay High School, which also encompassed works to demolish parts of the former John Summers High School building, and the proposed scheme at Penyffordd to amalgamate the current split-site arrangement and bring all primary provision onto one site.

During discussion the Senior Manager responded to the comments and concerns raised around Federations and school organisation.  He advised that an update on Federation school organisation issues, both nationally and locally, was appended to the report.

RESOLVED

That the progress of the School Modernisation Programme be noted.
